I had some money left in my Alaska Airlines account due to a cancelled flight, and I had to use the money by the end of August or lose it. Since next year’s motorsports schedules hadn’t come out yet, I had to think of someplace to go besides Formula D or Rally America. Well, I […]

Last month I was over in New York so I wanted to take that opportunity to add some more states to my states-I’ve-been-to list. According to Google Maps, I would be able to do a loop through all six New England states and be back in NYC in time for dinner. I recruited my friend […]

Bohan has been in my ear constantly for the past few months with pleas of making a trip to Yosemite in the winter. “Evvvveryone gets the same shots all summer, I want awesome ones with snow!” he says. Last Wednesday having just returned to the office from a different snowy expedition, I told Bohan that […]

Okay, while not actually in 2012, my trip to the Hoh Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula happened after my Best of 2011 post. How could I not include this awesome tree? Canon 5D Mark II and 17-40mm f/4 @ 17mm, f/8, 1/3s, ISO 100, tripod.

Eclipses are fun events, aren’t they? At least I didn’t have to get up at 3:30am like I did last time I shot an eclipse, back in December last year. In the SF Bay Area, this one started around 5:30pm. This photo was taken at 5:45.

Mission Peak, above Fremont, is one of the Bay Area’s most accessible mountain hikes. It’s by no means the highest peak, but it’s on the first ridge out of the basin so you can see the entire Bay Area from the summit. I hadn’t been up to the top in almost a year, so I […]

I had a few days to kill in Washington, so my dad and I decided to go out in the mountains. As close as they are to my parents’ house, I can’t believe I haven’t gone out there more often. We picked a route that went east from Arlington to Darrington, then north to Rockport, […]

I’m over in Texas this week shooting a video, and since it’s Friday I decided to go out. I met up with Chris Harrington and he gave me a tour of downtown Dallas and took me to an awesome place too shoot the skyline. Oh and there was a gnarly lighting storm going on too! […]

As we begin our 2012 adventures, I thought it would be worth looking over our first year, seeing how we’ve progressed and if anything needs to be reevaluated. We learned a lot for sure, and for sure there’s a lot more to learn.
